A fantastic app with entertaining and informative audio guided walks through Florence - genuinely brilliant and a lot of fun. Very highly recommended to visitors of Florence!
★★★★★Alessandro Roselli· Jan 19, 2023
Six tourist trails to a variety of sites: from some of the most renowned ones to those which the public would simply get past. You'll use an accurate digital adaptation of an authentic XVI-century map of Florence as a reference. A cast of diversified Renaissance characters will walk you through their own city. Among HF's delightful details: the great interpretations of the voice actors, the additional insights provided by scholars, the short music piece introducing each audio track.

Lovely insight into Florence life The audio content of this app is lovely, and you get to hear a unique insight into the everyday life of a local. It looks like the GPS has been designed to use virtually no data and as such is not very accurate. You can prompt the audio though.

Not easy to understand the itinerary. Only a map with a line and all the time the app say I'm not in florence...
